PUBLISHED WORK

I’ve covered a range of news stories in my career, beginning with anchoring live national broadcasts from Vancouver for radio. I’ve covered breaking news, current events, reported from the field, wrote stories for online, and occasionally produced news talk shows.

Now a freelance photojournalist, I write international news and feature stories for online platforms and a magazine published in Canada and the U.S.

It’s important to me to give a platform to those who need to be heard, to people and wild ones, who have something to say, and whose stories need to be told.

I will continue to share published stories here, and meanwhile, please r each out if you have a news tip or if you’d like to share your input on a subject I’ve covered — I love hearing from you.
